YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP)—Jamaine Cook rushed for 162 yards and four touchdowns to lead Youngstown State to a 49-23 win over St. Francis (Pa.) on Saturday.

Youngstown State piled up 450 yards rushing, with Jordan Thompson adding 135 yards and a touchdown on four carries. Thompson’s 95-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter tied a school record.
Youngstown State (4-3) led 42-3 at halftime as Cook scored on runs of 1, 4, 8 and 26 yards. Kurt Hess, who passed for 172 yards, threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Christian Bryan.
